Oh no, you and your girlfriend broke up:(  What the hell is wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with her? You lay on the couch sobbing and obsessing. Then you start to fall into a pit of deep despair and begin questioning if you will ever find the "one." Before you let yourself go a weee bit psycho over all this, consider this wise advice.
Obsession
Do not reread every email and text the two of you ever exchanged. Do not scan her Facebook page for people she may have left you for or potentially may hook up with. Do not replay old conversations in your head like a broken record. These are all a huge waste of your valuable time. Instead of squandering your time thinking about her, do something good for yourself! Try taking a walk, hitting the gym or calling a friend.
Blame Game
Stop blaming yourself. Do not rack your brain drudging up every way you fucked up. Yes, you made mistakes but dwelling on them is just going to make you feel bad about yourself – the last thing you need right now. Rather than beating yourself up, learn from your mistakes and move on. This makes you a better person than you were when you began this relationship.
Fun in the Sun
We know you don't feel like it, but force yourself to go out and have fun with your friends. Meet someone for lunch, go biking with your BFF or gather a group for an evening of chick flicks. Anything that brings you any joy.
Water under the Bridge
As time marches on, you will realize that this break up isn't the end of the world. You will start feeling better and one day you will be totally over it. Try to remember that the hurt will only last so long. Hey we know it's not easy, we've been through break ups too. Just trust us, you'll be back on the market soon enough:)

Does it seem like you and your gf are just not meshing lately? Or maybe it's been more like a cat fight when you're around each other. It's really quite simple to get back on her good side and perhaps even get a little closer to your partner with just a little bit of effort.

Keep Up
Forgot the anniversary of your first kiss? Well, she remembers everything.  So while you remember — maybe — the day you met, she’s engraved all of your "firsts" into her brain. Hey, there’s a reason the smart phone and Google calendar were invented. Use your electronic gadgets to take notes in order to keep up with her and keep her happy.

Pay Attention
Your woman see shades of meaning in the littlest things & smallest of gestures. Therefore, an asinine comment like, “I’d rather watch the game” might have said more than you wanted it to. There's hope though! Likewise, a small act of kindness like a kiss on the cheek or volunteering to call ahead to make a reservation, will bring back harmony. She’ll consider both the gesture and the thoughtfulness behind it.
Stay Calm
She’s much better at reining in her aggressive impulses than you are. You created a scene and she responded calmly to someone's rudeness. If you're out and someone insults you, don't fly off the handle and start yelling or let it ruin your evening. Instead, consider the context and behave gracefully.
Pen Something
She excels in coming up with the perfect words, knowing exactly the right thing to say, sending great cards and love notes. You on the other hand, have the vocabulary of a 5th grader.  All is not lost. Write her a poem... or at least a cute email. Woo her with the though that you took the time and made the effort.
Cheer Lead
If she had a tough day at work or a disagreement with a family member: try a pep talk without taking sides, give her a soothing back rub, run her a warm tub or maybe just give her a long hug. You can't change the way she feels, but you can definitely show her that you support her.

This year, don't spend a fortune on a fancy dinner and pretentious presents to celebrate Valentine's Day with your girl. With a little creativity and planning, you can make the day very special for very little money. Here are some great ideas for staying in and enjoying quality time together at home.
1. Sex Slumber
Make love all night long like you use to do! Instead of taking off work on Valentine's Day, take off February 15th and get off on February 14th!. Stay the whole night in bed alternating between watching erotic movies, eating sexy snacks and drinking cocktails. Watch the sunrise together and sleep until late afternoon. Sounds wonderful!
2. Picnic In
It's way too cold to be outdoors, so do it indoors instead. Pump up the heat and spread a cozy blanket on your living room floor. Pop open a special bottle of wine or champagne or beer; just make it her favorite. Delicately feed one other strawberries or grapes or Twinkies; whatever floats her fancy:)
3. Act 1
Valentine's Day is an opportune time to put some spark back in your relationship and her pants. Have her write out a sexual fantasy or role play or new position that she wants to try.Then act them out. We suggest Cop & Capture for role playing and trying the Scissors position to get started;)
4. Massage
Bust out the oils and lotions and lubes, oh my! Go ahead and light some candles. Tender tickles and careful caresses add to the mood. Move to the tub together too! When was the last time you and she spent the evening exploring each others bodies? Don't be a dud; take turns!
5. Board not Bored
Play some board or card games with a twist. Loser takes off a piece of clothing, does something naughty or tells a steamy story from their past. Or if you are even more committed, buy Jenga and write out Truths & Dares on each piece. Whomever pulls it, completes it! Such wicked fun! We promise;)

More Valentine's Articles

Yesterday my beautiful girlfriend and I celebrated our 2 year and 5 month anniversary.  Some of our friends laugh and poke fun at our monthly ritual of taking the 26th day of the month to celebrate being together. It may sound sappy and a bit excessive to some, but I think that if more lesbian couples incorporated a monthly date night into their schedules, there would be a decrease in the number of lesbian members in the LBDS Club (lesbian bed death sydrome)!

When you're in a committed, long-term relationship with a woman that honeymoon stage seems to fade too quickly.  Women are very emotional beings, yes it’s true, and when we’ve had a rough day or we’re stressed or just tired, sex and affection tend to be the last thing on our minds. So, when you and your girlfriend have been together for a while and life starts taking over the raging hormones that used to keep you up all night for weeks at a time, you’re bound to find your intimate time taking a back seat to your daily routine. 

Don’t wait for this to happen!  You need to plan a date night, and not just once a year on your anniversary.  It needs to be a set day that both of you remember every month where nothing gets in the way of spending time with your one and only woman.  Ladies, this means no friends, no facebook, no family, no home improvement, and no tv unless it’s what you both decide you wish to do with your time together.  Everything else needs to take a back seat to her for one day.  It’s time to focus on each other. 

Romance her.  Pick up a card and remind her of something from a past anniversary that makes you smile.  Bring her one red rose or maybe dinner from her favorite take-out joint.  Wake up on that morning and cook her breakfast in bed with a little intimate massage after.  Or run a warm bath and set your ipod to her favorite playlist. 

Your goal here is to have a day to make your woman number one again, like she was that first week when you called in sick to work 3 times just so you didn’t have to leave her beautiful naked body in bed alone those mornings.  So celebrate your monthly anniversary or even make every second Tuesday your date night.  Just do something to spice it up again ladies!   Date night is a must!

Despite your lovely locks, sexy smile and best come on, you are destined to experience a dry spell at some point. Perhaps there aren't that many single ladies in your neck of the woods or maybe the bevy of lesbian beauties have proved immune to your wile charms. Perhaps, you're just plain unlucky. Don't fret! Help is on the way;)
These timely tips simply require that you be proactive and try a few different approaches and techniques.
Change of Scenery
Us lesbos all have our favorite nightclubs and bars. We go to these places and expect to find available women. Well, even the most popular lesbian haunts experience dry spells and dead nights. It may be temporary, but it's a good time to seek out a few new spots. There are always other options. Check out our Social Event Calendar for instance:)There are bound to be hot spots you’ve never visited where you can find many a new faces. Even consider going out of town for a few days (with or without friends) to try several new places in a single weekend.There’s no telling what adventures you might have in a new city.
Go Outside the Box
We all have our personal preferences but when a dry spell hits, consider going for girls outside your typically type. This goes beyond targeting brunettes if you’re typically into blondes. You should also broaden your requirements for body shape and personality. Maybe you’ve always had a thing for curvy girls, and the smaller more petite ladies don't bleep on your radar. Maybe you’ve always gone after more aggressive girls (they don’t require much patience or effort, after all). Go ahead, approach that quiet, slender girl in the group who keeps glancing in your direction. See what happens:)
New Opening
It’s not about different opening lines because we don't suggest you use “lines.” However, we do suggest employing an array of techniques and styles to get a woman's interest. When things go flat, you have to choose another skill in your repertoire or -- horror of horrors -- take the time to develop new strategies. If you usually initiate an encounter with a small compliment, eye contact and the offer of a drink, try being more inventive. Start off with a solid conversation-starter question. Remember, if you have a catalog of available approaches, it allows you to smoothly switch on the fly. Don’t forget about your attitude, tone and manner. These can significantly alter an approach. For more advice on approaching, read Girl Meets Girl:)
Freshen your Look
Yes, it can be difficult to stay up-to-date with the latest lesbian fashion, especially if your "look" has worked well in the past. But when you do the math and realize that you’ve not had sex for 3 months, well you start to question your appeal. Think about trying a new hairstyle or color, buying a few new clothing items or altering your make up routine. If you’ve been sporting casual bedhead hair, you could sleek and smooth it for a night. If you always wear dark, smoky eye make up, try something fresh & light for an evening. There are plenty of ways to present yourself differently, so spend some extra time in the mirror before you get ready to go out!

Melissa Etheridge filed legal documents in LA on Friday to formally end her domestic partnership with Tammy Lynn Michaels after 9 years together.In the Petition for Dissolution of Domestic Partnership, Etheridge cites "irreconcilable differences" and has requested joint custody of their 3-year-old twins. Unfortunately for Tammy, Melissa has asked that the court NOT award financial support to Tammy, which is quite disappointing as Tammy appears to be the main caregiver of the twins.
Tammy responded via her blog, hollywood farm girl, the very next day:

gentle waves
no noise for awhile
or maybe gentle voices
and
SMACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
FILE FOR DIVORCE!!!!!!
even though we both promised
agreed
handshook
pinkyswore
no filing until after tour
in the fall
her broken promises
told to me by
headlines
i'm raising the kids
doing what i can
second set of yours
could you stop blind sighting me?
unless it's another art form you're working on?

Tammy also says she doesn't have a "steady paycheck" coming in and she's been left penniless by Melissa. Tammy writes:
i gave up my managers, agents, contacts, all that good stuff, because i stepped directly into potty training a small boy, and carrying around a small girl on my hip. both excellent souls. and i was a very huge part in raising them for many many years while She with the Guitar focused on her Guitar.
 i was always the house wife after that. the only thing i hated about it was not bringing in money- i have made my own money since i started babysitting at 10, and having a newspaper route at 11. having no steady paycheck killed me for those years with her. and now it's really killing me. the other week i had to borrow money from a friend. two weeks ago i had to scrape together $1.25 to pay for gas. i know she doesn't want to give me money. trust. i'm borrowing cash left and right from people to get through this summer, and feed my kids, with a stomach full of ulcers, thank you. no stress here.
how's that spiritual tour coming along?
so now…. to open the lap top…. and read the headlines…. when i just spoke to the fame crawler yesterday…. she could have mentioned it….. and hmmm…. wants some custody of kids…. interesting…. but no $ support for me… interesting as well…. so so so interesting, there, melissa. practicing what we preach is always hard for americans, i think. (is that why you and rick warren got along so well? ) oh, the nights of promises….'tammy, if i ever leave you, it's because i'm crazy, and you have to come find me and get me and save me!!! we have to be together forever!' (remember that one, lucky?)
DOH!!
Come on, Melissa! For Fuck's Sake-She's the mother of your children!!!

Too much Real L Word drama in your relationship? Then you have to resist these deadly urges that are sure to ruin your otherwise healthy relationship.
Girl Spy
Maybe you think you're staying ahead of the curve by keeping constant surveillance of your girlfriend's Myspace, Facebook and Twitter accounts. But being aware of the minutiae of her everyday world shows a lack of trust, and will more than likely lead to over analysis and perhaps even boredom. It really does more harm than good. Besides, it's borderline stalker behavior.
I Lie
Lying to your partner for any reason does not make for a successful future together. It's really simple stupid-just don’t do it.
Family Matters
No matter how you feel about her family, telling her how much they drive you nuts is bound to drive a wedge into your relationship. Even if she thinks her relatives are bananas, she doesn't want to hear you bash her blood. It’s best to hold your tongue with respect to her family.
Cat Fight
It's natural for all couples to have arguments, especially if you've been together a while. However, fights that become physical or regularly spill out into public are damaging and embarrassing relationship issues.
That Girl
Letting yourself go is not only bad for your health and self esteem, it sends a bad message to your partner. Gaining weight or not caring about the way you look, no matter the length of the relationship, shows you have stopped caring about yourself. Perhaps you don't care about the way she thinks you look either. Don't be that girl.
Make Over
Many women think they are helping when trying to make their partner over. It's fine to give your partner some tips or advice on make up or fashion or whatever, IF she asks for it. Don't try to get her to wear make up if she doesn't like it and don't buy her butchier clothes just because you love the butch in her. You may end up causing more problems for the relationship.
Avoid & Ignore
Everyone would like to think that they have the perfect relationship, but you don't! In your quest to avoid creating drama, you might be allowing things that upset you to go unsaid and to fester. If you do, you are doing yourself and your partner a great injustice. Good communication is crucial to a  happy, long-term relationship.

Actress Tammy Lynn Micheals has taken to her blog to publicly air her grievances about her ex-wife, Melissa Etheridge.

1. Gal with a Plan

Of course it’s important that you be able to have fun together, but it’s just as important that she knows who she is and where she is going. No matter how charming, if she is still struggling to find herself, it will get very old, very fast.

#2. You’re #1

Picture a brand new box of gourmet chocolates. Does she first offer it to you to pick the best piece? This is a metaphor for how she will treat you for the rest of your life.

3. Germs, what Germs?

You know a girl is really into you when she can't stay away, even when you're bedridden and green with snot. When you're sick with the flu she insists on coming over & taking care of you rather than keeping her distance.

4. We are Family

She not only asks about your family, she genuinely wants to hear about them. Interest in your family shows that she is thinking about you for the long term. She knows that being with you means understanding and accepting your relatives too.

5. Friend Friendly

In the beginning of your relationship, does your girl show an interest in meeting your crew? Does she follow it up with a plan, like hosting a low-key dinner party? This shows she knows friends are an important part of your life. Also, her knowing them makes her more involved with you, so initiating it herself shows commitment.

6. Go Team U

When your girl calls your mom to tell her about your promotion before you do, that should tell you something. A woman who is supportive of you & your goals doesn't feel threatened by your success and therefore toots your horn to anyone that will listen.

7. Sweat the little things

Does your woman really listen to you? You know she does if you tell her you have a big scary work meeting and the next time you talk she asks how it went. Or if you tell her you left your fav lip gloss at her house and she remembers it on your next date. Following up on even the little things you say to her means she truly cares about you.

8. Happy = Happy

This is the girl who goes to a chick flick with you on Friday night when she prefers an action film --  and not because she actually wants to, but because it makes you happy. Vis a vis, she’s happy when you’re happy.

9. Bring out the Best

This is a woman who makes you feel like the sexiest and smartest woman alive. She insists you can do anything that you put your mind to. Remember, it's not just about how you feel about her but also about how she makes you feel about yourself.

Advice on Approaching

Us girls aren’t typically brought up to be assertive nor taught how to approach a future mate, especially another female. Therefore, we thought we’d give you some pointers to push you in the right direction.

1. Observe

Make a comment about something you observe in your & her environment. This is especially effective at a store. If she is browsing the jean rack, ask her if the prices are good there.  Make your comment immediate & pertinent to the situation and it will seem perfectly natural. There is always something interesting to comment on regardless of the surroundings.

2. Smile

This shows her that you are friendly & open. A genuine smile will put her at ease & create warmness in the interaction. Of course, having great teeth is also a plus;)

3. Confidence

If you hesitate in your approach, this tells her that you are not feeling confident, a definite turn-off. Walk over to her within a short period of time of seeing her. Show her you are a woman who knows what she wants & goes for it.

4. Body Talk

If you approach hunched over with your head down, you are sending negative vibes about yourself. Instead, stand up straight with your shoulders back and that perky chest out, and use a poised yet relaxed walk.

5. Calm & Casual

If you walk over too fast, you could likely trigger her internal stalker alarm. A calm, casual approach is usually the best way to make her feel relaxed about having a stranger approach her.

6. Eye to Eye

Never be the first to break eye contact. If you do, it may send the message that you are not feeling certain about approaching. Beware of staring though. Practice this & it will come more naturally.

7. Listen Up

Make sure you pay careful attention to everything that comes out of her pretty mouth. Do not have lines that you already have thought out. That is super cheesy! Women love women who can engage in a spontaneous & witty conversation.

8. Comfort Level

Fidgeting is distracting & shows you’re uncomfortable. If you communicate that you are not comfortable, she will likely feel discomfort and may close off. Be aware of your body & pay attention to your movements, or lack of movement, to communicate comfort and confidence.

9. Lighten Up

The tone of your voice is very telling. Approaching her in a light & playful tone is one of the best ways to open a conversation. Consider using some humor in your approach.

10. Lean Machine

If you lean in too far when she talks you may make her feel crowded. A better way is to lean slightly away from her. This shows her that you respect her personal space while you’re in her space.

1. Don’t expect perfection. You’re not perfect & neither is she.
2. Don’t take it so seriously. It’s a date not an interview.
3. Don’t try to learn everything at once. Take the time & get to know her.
4. Don’t order the most expensive or cheapest thing on the menu. Be reasonable.
 5. Don’t be late. It’s not fashionable.
NEW from our Members

6. Don't douse yourself in cologne or perfume.
7.Don't eat too much if you wanna have some sex after dinner.
8. Don't forget to shave EVERYTHING.
9.Don't act desperate, even if you are.

10. Don't text!
  11. Don't pick your teeth or your nose.
  12.Don't talk about your mother or your exes.
  13. Don't lead her on.
 14.Don't let your dog sniff her crotch.
15. Don't talk about your pets all night.

1. Proper Preparation
 Throw on your hottest bra & panty set. If the evening takes you there; you’ll be all set.
2. Hairy Beast
Take the time to groom appropriately. Some of us just have hair in the wrong places. Tame that unibrow, pluck that moustache, and shave those knuckles girls!
3. Stinky Situation
You know the repeat offenders; beans, cabbage, broccoli, eggs, cheese. Avoid these at all costs in order to avoid embarrassment later.
4. Liquor or Lick her?
Make your choice. It may be a good idea to have a cocktail to loosen up a bit but don’t drink too much. You may have to perform later. Find the line that works for you.
5. Spinach Sticks
Don’t eat shit that will get caught up in your smile or make your breath stink. Say no thanks to spinach, onion & garlic. Bring mints regardless; gum is not in good taste on a date.
 6. Cell Shenanigans
 Turn it off or put it on vibrate;) Just don’t answer it or she’ll think you are more interested in whoever is on the tele than in the date.
7. Mind your Manners
Whether your butch or femme or somewhere in between, go ahead & open a door for her. Say please & thank you just like your mom taught ya. Call it chivalry or courtesy; we don’t care. These ideas may be antiquated but they are certainly not outdated.
 8. Be Yourself
Just don’t overdo it. Don’t talk about your ex or how long it has been since your last bush dive. Certainly don’t delve into your childhood until much later when you have established a rapport. You don’t want to scare her away do you?
9. Expect the Unexpected
Don’t have unrealistic expectations. Relax and go wherever the night takes you. Be open & flexible and just have some fun. Oh, and please be able to laugh at yourself.
10. Check Please 
We believe in whoever asked the other out should pay the check. This goes for a first date or any other date. If your date wants to pick up the tip, let her. We’re all for equality!

*bonus tip: the more time you spend around lesbians the easier it will become to pick up on cues

It's true, break ups are hard to do. But let's face it, lesbians are particularly bad at it. Here is some advice for helping those of you who just can't let a bad relationship go.

 I want us to be friends. This sounds nice in theory, but in reality an ex does not make a true friend, especially immediately after the split. If you will be friends in the future you must take some time apart to get your shit in order and to heal.

 I need closure. Closure can be difficult, even impossible to get no matter how many times you beat that dead horse. Fact is, some people are unable to give closure, so you may just want to find it within yourself. Indeed, the best closure may come from resisting the urge to dialogue & simply move on.

 I  need to make sense of it all, and/or I  have one more thing to say. This is a bullshit rationalization. Another excuse to stay in contact when in reality this just gives your ex another opportunity to vomit on you. Not fun.

 I want to reconcile. It's reasonable to feel like you want to get back together.  Even if you do end up reconciling, the relationship must be different to suceed; afterall the last one failed.  It is still important to take some time apart in order to mourn the relationship & contemplate how you really feel.

 I want to hold onto her stuff. Don't hold her shit for ransom (or sniff it) in order to see her again. Give back what belongs to her, nothing more & nothing less. Do it quickly, in the first couple of days. Get your stuff back simultaneously. If you inadvertently find something of hers later, mail it to her.

 I want to sex her again. Your ex is familiar because you know her intimately. But again, this is just prolonging the inevitable and will keep you stuck in the past. Time to cut off the ex & find someone new (or maybe just yourself) to finger.

 We have the same friends. If this is the case, you may not be able to help bumping into your ex, but that does not mean you need to get in touch afterward. Keep your conversations polite, brief & away from anything that can bring up shit from the past. You'll also see who your friends are, and which belong to her.

One of the worst  things about lesbian dating is that no one wants to be the initiator. Women typically flirt but they wait to be approached. If you want a date you have to learn to be comfortable making a move.

You can tell by certain signs if she's single & interested. If she's out alone or if she's at a table which seems to include just friends, it's a good indication.
Go ahead & approach by asking a simple question. Act interested but don't overdo it. If she leans in when you talk to her, pays attention to you or asks you to join them, proceed respectfully and with confidence then see where it goes.Try complimenting her about whatever drew you to her. Make sure to smile & to look into her eyes. And please ask about her and listen to  what she has to say. If it is going well, ask her to dance or buy her a drink.

Don't be afraid of rejection. You can't get a date unless you accept rejection and you want a date right?. If your self-esteem is intact, you can handle rejection. Believe in yourself and remind yourself  that you are attractive & worthwhile.  You don't desire everyone and not everyone will desire you.

Some of the best ways to meet other lesbians is through our friends. If you are single and looking, let it be known. Go to parties or throw a party. Get out and about and get involved. Turn your flirt on and smile a lot .Expand your social circle by joining a group that interests you. You'll meet new people  and  have access to all the people your new friends know.  You may find that you like one of them. Check out queer film fests, spoken words, art openings, yoga, the gym, dance clubs, bars, the library, Pride festivals, activist groups, or other lesbian events. But be weary of  giant drunken lesbian events wherein lesbians are not necessarily putting their best foot forward. You may get mixed up in something that you want no part of.

It’s girls night out for you and your friends and you’re having a great time dancing.  In the corner of your eye you see the cutest girl at the bar and she glances your way.  Instant attraction!  Her eyes are gleaming and lips parted and you notice how her hair wisps against her face.  Okay, you’re staring too much and it’s time to buy her a drink. ;)

You make your way to the bar and introduce yourself.  She asks for a vodka and club soda with a twist of lime.  After flirtatious conversation you finally ask her out to dinner.  “What is your favorite cuisine?”  She replies, “I’m a vegan.”  Before thinking you have no chance in hell or this girl must be some weird granola tree-hugger, consider this a challenge.  She is offering you an opportunity to explore something new!  Step out of your comfort zone and have a little fun.  Also, it would be nice to explore her in other ways, too. ** Wink Wink **

The Los Angeles area has so many great Vegan restaurants to choose from.  If you want to take her to a nice restaurant, a great recommendation is Real Food Daily located at 414 North La Cienega in West Hollywood and a second location at 514 Santa Monica Boulevard in Santa Monica.  They have an excellent vegan wine selection and dishes that will satisfy various palates. There are monthly and daily specials to choose from.  If you are hesitant and not sure of what to order because this is a new scene for you, try the Tac-O’ the Town dish.  The tacos are satisfying and even the most skeptical of carnivores won’t miss the meat!  Don’t forget the desserts!  Real Food Daily has delicious vegan cupcakes, cookies, and pies.

Another place to consider if you are not ready to try the vegan scene and/or want an economic friendly restaurant is Swingers Diner located at 8020 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles with another location at 802 Broadway in Santa Monica.  This is a casual diner that has great selections for vegans, vegetarians, and carnivores alike.  Are you a bit curious about what to order from the vegan selection but want something new? The Veggie Joe is the vegan remake of the all American Sloppy Joe favorite.  It’s vegan comfort food at it’s finest!  Not ready to try vegan yet?  Swingers does serve dishes like Steak and Fries or Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken.  

Whether you are taking your new vegan girl to a movie and dinner or out for a night on the town, please remember some important etiquette...... Do not refer to her lifestyle choice as “weird, hippie, or gross.”  Instead, be open to your differences and try to broaden your horizons.  Also, please ditch the fur lined leather jacket on your first date if you really want to impress her.  I’m not suggesting that you join PETA and throw red paint at fur coats with her.  This is a simple gesture that will display your appreciation for your differences and lifestyle choices.  If you two really hit it off and are ready to get to know each other in more intimate ways (oh-lal-la!), there’s another lesson to be learned....Vegan Sex Toys… 

To be continued ;)..............
